Melanie's Birthday

Melanie had her Sweet 16 birthday yesterday and wanted to go to Sea World. We had a great time together feeding dolphins, watching the shows and playing at the water park. We had a hard time keeping Melanie away from the dolphins. She could've spent her whole day there if we had let her.

Samantha has mastered the art of crawling (as of Wednesday). She can crawl everywhere now and gets into everything. She can clap her hands on her own and has said both mama and dada. So of course both parents are happy. She can pull herself up to a standing position and now when I go get her out of her bed she is standing up in her crib. She is learning new things daily. It just just amazing how when she sets her mind to wanting to do something she just does it - crawing, clapping etc.

Sam had her first pool experience over Memorial Day weekend at the neighborhood pool. She really enjoyed playing in the water.
